(Nah... by the way, do you know that there is actually a forum in the empire, the forum (official website?) of Xiling Empire: Garden of the Dead, the address can be found from the custom link in the bar—because I forgot the specific address. Friendship Tip: The forum belongs to the senior area, please see character for registration...)
The two sides have been confronting each other tensely from the very beginning, and now not only has there been no signs of easing up, but it has become even more tense because of the intrusion of another unidentified young soldier. Of course, when it comes to the confrontation, it seems that the other party is unilateral. There is no intention of attacking here, but... the other party obviously doesn't think so.
The alien who looks somewhat like an insect evolved is named Tuolulu. According to his (now I can use "he" for sure) that obviously exceeded the speed of sound and the violent impact, as well as the installation on his forelimb It can be judged from the psionic blade that he is a close-combat fighter, while the young soldier with the gun is obviously using long-range attacks. The two may be a combination of a combat team. Now they are ready, face They all have a death-defying expression-I mean that the unknown boy soldier has a death-defying expression on his face. As for the expression of Tuolulu...well, the expression is very isosceles triangle.
"Well, can you put the weapon down first, we don't like it very much when someone points this thing at us."
I pointed to the weird-looking rifle in the young soldier's hand, and said helplessly, but it doesn't matter what I said, the other party obviously took my action as a signal to start a war, he activated the weapon subconsciously, and a beam of bright blue light hit me in an instant ... The energy shield in front of him didn't break through at all, and then the other party yelled in surprise: "Huh?"
I looked at the almost imperceptible ripples on the shield in front of me, and rolled my eyes at the young soldier: "Just like you, you will be locked up in my army for an average of seven days a week - move before you shoot!" brain!"
"What kind of new trick is this?" The young soldier turned a deaf ear to my words, but turned his head slightly to look at Tuolulu with a confused face, still holding the weapon tightly in his hand, "Why are they different from the imperial soldiers I heard about in school?" Too the same? It’s also different from the guys I’ve come into contact with before.”
"They are very cruel. I don't know. The things in the school may be outdated. Imperial soldiers generally don't talk nonsense. Language communication is really troublesome. I have already asked for support. Don't let your guard down." Tolulu answered a bunch of messy Things, continue to point the light knife at this side.
Sandora and I looked at each other, and saw the same message in each other's eyes: it might be the master who doesn't get along with each other.
But even though the other party didn't want to get in, I still planned to get something out of it first, so I showed a very kind smile and got close to the other party: "Then you know who we are, right?"
…As soon as I said this sentence, I felt that my intelligence might be a little closer to Ding Dong. No matter how the other party looked at the empire as a snake, I even took the initiative to mention this.
"Hmph, of course." The young soldier didn't shoot anymore, but his fingers turned white on the weapon. His body was obviously shaking, which was definitely not caused by excitement, but even so, the opponent still didn't seem to retreat or give in at all. With the shot just now, he couldn't even hurt a single hair of the target. Anyone with a discerning eye can see such a disparity in power. It's amazing that he is holding his weapon tightly in this situation, "Are you all The people of the Empire, the Xiling Empire... the most dangerous enemy, the invader and the destroyer, where you pass by, there is no grass and no life, that's what is taught in school! You also do the same! Today you are going to have a carnival again, right!"
Sandora's face turned ugly all of a sudden, but it was only fleeting, and soon she replied with a cold expression, just looked at the young soldier and asked coldly: "I'm really curious about your What was taught in school - about 'us' 'defense'."
"Do you still need to ask, you know better than anyone else," the young soldier was unexpectedly easy to be tricked out, this may have something to do with the age of the other party, it seems that he still looks like he was leaving the dormitory at twelve o'clock at night When Lou jumps out to surf the Internet, children in this state are most likely to tell you all the secrets with a firm face, "You destroyed the Toberu civilization, scorched the Tianpan galaxy, and slaughtered hundreds of billions of Yunad people , as well as the Osa Empire, the Human Federation, and the Seventy-Seven Star Core World Alliance, all of which were destroyed by you! And then you have been chasing us for so many years! Attacking the fleet non-stop! You have killed groups of people, and now Finally decided to attack the last fleet, right! Bah! Killer! We will die standing up! And we will definitely pull you as backs!”
"It was the fallen apostle who did it..." Sandora's expression on her face was still the same as that of an iceberg, but she whispered in her spiritual connection, her voice was heavy, with almost undisguised sadness, "I should have thought of this a long time ago... "
"How many of the countries he mentioned do you know?"
I was originally hopeless about this question, and I just raised it to divert Sandora's attention, but I didn't expect her to really nod slightly: "A small number of people have been in contact. In the old empire era... they used to be The powerful civilization that fights against the abyss has gradually come into close contact with us due to the continuous expansion of the empire's ruled area. They are the last batch of abyss rebels who have not joined the front led by the empire at the end of the old empire. Although the other countries have no impression, But it must be the same situation... After the old empire was controlled by the abyss, they became the first batch of victims... "
"Now you can't do anything, it's irreversible. Follow me"
I interrupted Sandora's memory, these things can be discussed later, and then looked up at the young soldier, "Take us to meet your leader, the supreme commander of your fleet."
It has already been seen that this young soldier and his alien comrade-in-arms named Tuolulu are probably just the most ordinary patrolmen, and their knowledge is absolutely limited, and they are still two dead-headed people who don't know what to do. I couldn't find anything more, so I decided to contact the other party's superior as soon as possible-if I could talk directly to the commander-in-chief of the ghost fleet, everything would be much easier to solve.
But just as expected, the young soldier resolutely refused without even thinking about it: "Unless you kill me! Otherwise, you don't want to pass through this gate!"
In fact, I really want to tell this kid that Lilina alone has at least twenty ways to pass through the gate he is guarding without any resistance, but I don't think it's right to say this here. I was serious so I didn't say anything.
The other party didn't intend to let go, and no one was surprised by this. Sandora just frowned slightly, and then suddenly released her incomparably powerful spiritual power, which swept across the surrounding metal barriers and spread all the way to the core of the planet In the past, since we were already at the bottom of the "intermediate layer" of the planetary fortress, the energy interference of the starship was negligible, and Sandora's will instantly filled the entire planet—if she wanted to, I'm afraid she would have to control this fortress It's not difficult, but she just wants to say a few words.
I don't know what Sandora said, anyway, the young soldier in front of me quickly glanced at the suspected communicator on his chest in surprise, and after muttering a few words with the superior on the opposite side of the communicator, he became suspicious Looking at this side uncertainly: "You... you must have played some kind of trick just now!"
"You don't need to worry about this, anyway, we can go in now, right?"
There were still little golden particles flying in Sandora's hair, she glanced at the young soldier quietly, and asked calmly.
The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I will open the passage below."
Under the leadership of the young soldiers, everyone passed through the temporarily closed gate. Below the gate is a vertical and wide shaft. The original cold wind in the shaft was also stopped. I really want to ask these constantly stirring winds. What's going on, but the other party is obviously not interested in chatting, in fact, he is not even willing to keep a distance of less than ten meters from us, he and the mantis star named Tuolulu (correct) each ride a hovercraft in front of us There are twenty to thirty meters to lead the way, all the way fast like wanting to shake off the pursuers behind, I am afraid the other party really thinks so-for a group of exiles who have been chased and killed by the imperial soldiers for an unknown number of years, It must feel terrible to be followed by the Xiling Apostle.
"May I have your name?"
I speeded up and ran to the side of the young soldier and asked loudly, but the other party didn't expect the person behind him to do such a thing, and he almost fell off the aircraft with an exclamation. I hurriedly helped him stabilize his direction, and said in a tone of earnestness like an elder teaching a junior, " Boy, speeding is fun and hurting—you don't have traffic laws?"
The young soldier looked at me for a few seconds with terrified eyes, lowered his head and muttered a word: "Jin."
Then the opponent accelerated and ran in front of me again.
It took me a long time to figure it out. "Jin" might be his name. This kid speaks very concisely. Of course, his parents named him very concisely. Anyway, if you write novels, you definitely don’t like to use this name. , it is too unfavorable to strive for full attendance, so Sasaki Kojiro is more popular, and at worst he has to be called Ouyang Qingsong...
After a while, we came to the end of this shaft that looked like a range hood wave tube. It felt really good to be down to earth. In front of it is a thing that finally looks less distorted than a piece of meat: it is an alloy gate with an obvious empire style, and there is even a cross dent on the gate!
Apparently that dent was once inlaid with a group of crystals, but now the crystals used as the military emblem have been deducted, and even the remaining grooves have been scratched in a mess, as if drawn into a mess with rough strokes, see Looking at those fierce scratches, I can almost imagine how the person who did this was gnashing his teeth and cutting the knife.
Noticing our gaze sweeping back and forth on that groove, the young soldier snorted coldly and said nothing, but he still hesitated when he took out his identification card and was about to open the door. Obviously, the leader A group of "vicious imperial soldiers" entered the homeland, which in his opinion was a bit too unbelievable.
But his hesitation didn't last long, because before he could use the identification card, the metal gate opened automatically—it should be that the controller above had received a direct order to let us in.
The crowd has long been very curious about the scene ahead. In this weird planetary fortress, there are so many bizarre scenes, so that we are all guessing how many weird things there are in front, such as continuous stretches of The lair and the like, so before the door was fully opened, a large family rushed over, and then... exclaimed one after another.
"This is... a city?"
Qianqian is the one who runs in the front, there is no way, this girl really wants to be the first, even if you start from the Jurassic era, you can't keep up with her, seeing the huge lights under her feet, she immediately loses her composure.
After coming through the gate, I thought I would see a large number of war factories suspended in the air like in the usual star warships, or a huge corridor inside the ship, or some other huge military facilities, but I didn’t expect that what appeared in front of me was actually another A piece of land and sky.
Below our feet is a wide alloy platform, which is suspended in mid-air and connected to the steel sky above by a metal cylinder with a diameter of tens of meters. This metal cylinder is obviously the shaft that everyone passed through before. Observe, the very high place above is a gray-black sky, with dots of "stars" flickering on the sky, which are the inner wall of the starship "interlayer" and the lights on the inner wall, and a few thousand meters below our feet, it is a piece of On the land illuminated by lights, dense buildings and orderly streets can be seen, and various means of transportation are constantly flowing between these buildings.
As far as the eye can see, you can see a gigantic alloy pillar at a certain distance on the ground, like the Optimus Prime used to support the sky in mythology, connecting the ground and the "sky", those gray-black alloy pillars Bright spots of light flowed on the sky, and each spot of light was a strange-looking aircraft. They seemed to be maintaining the huge pillars supporting the outer shell of the starship. All of this was shrouded in a gloomy scene, and the whole world seemed to be in a polar night with no end in sight.
This is a twilight world wrapped in a steel sky!
The scenery in front of you is shocking. If you are not on the scene, you may never imagine what a planet surrounded by a metal spherical shell thousands of kilometers thick looks like. Such a magnificent scene is yet such a desolate scene , I don’t know how long people in this world have been living in this environment, but the heavy depression and desolation coming from the whole world are still moving. He was very vigilant to the young soldiers of our group: "Jin."
"What's the matter?" The other party said impatiently.
"...It's okay, take us to meet your leader."
"The spaceship in front is here to pick you up, but Tuolulu and I should really follow."
Jin checked his weapons and brought his insect comrades to the edge of the platform. A short, fat little spaceship stopped in front of him. It's strange, but I soon felt relieved: If it's used to pick up our group of people, what kind of frigate you arrange is different...
The small transport ship does not look big, but the space inside is very wide. It seems that this thing also uses some kind of space expansion technology, but it is somewhat different from the space expansion of the empire. You can still feel a sense of discord in the spaceship. , there are some soldiers in the transport ship besides us, some of these soldiers are human beings, some are insect-like alien life forms like Tuolulu, and some have never been seen before, and they come from other races.
Obviously, the composition of this exile team is more complicated than we imagined. I really don’t know how many races it is composed of. From what we have seen so far, perhaps such a ghost fleet will bring us The moral pressure will be no less than the thousands of races in the civilized community-each of them has a history of blood and tears, and these blood and tears history must undoubtedly be paid by the empire.
In the process of the transport ship flying to the destination, we can feel that every soldier around us is looking at us with extreme vigilance and fear. Of course, there is deep-rooted hatred mixed in it, and these emotions are shrouded around us. It was obviously uncomfortable, but fortunately everyone kept calm, which saved us a lot of trouble. I once again thanked Lin Xue for her prophecy, otherwise we might not have had violence at this time...
The spaceship flew quietly for more than ten minutes in the dim twilight, and finally landed in a place... anyway, we don't know it. An unusually tall and thin female officer came to meet us on the landing platform. The young soldier and Tuolulu We were ordered to stand by near the landing platform, and a few of us followed the female officer into an alloy building, which still looked like a "lump" like a curled up piece of meat. The only information I got along the way is that this design style is the creation of Tolulu’s tribe—the Tobelu tribe. Those alien life forms that look like insects evolved have amazing super technology. It is the backbone of the Ghost Fleet.
Everyone followed the female officer who led the way around the huge metal fortress, and the complicated passages like ant nests made people dizzy. Finally, we arrived at a huge hexagonal hall, and the female officer who brought us nodded abruptly to us: "This is the parliament, you are waiting here."
After leaving such a sentence, the other party immediately turned his head and left as if fleeing.
"It seems that we are not very popular."
Lilina laughed dryly with her cheeks troubled, and I thought this is not nonsense. According to the information leaked by the young soldier in a few words, after the collapse of the old empire, the group of lunatic apostles did a lot of harm to this group of fugitives. They are chasing and killing. Those who don’t know about it will definitely confuse the New Empire with the Fallen Apostles. If we hadn’t fired first and the Ghost Fleet had chosen to flee instead of fighting to the death, maybe the brains of both sides are about to come out now. , in this case, do you still expect to receive a warm welcome
In fact, when Sandora and I came in, I expected it to be worse than it is now...
"Where is the parliament that the man mentioned just now?" My elder sister looked around and said curiously. The hall is quite large, at least equivalent to an indoor gymnasium. Ordinary white makes the whole space look very bright. I feel much more comfortable in this environment, but apart from the bright, I didn’t see anyone in the hall, and there was no communication equipment. It was a completely empty room , people can't help but wonder what the female officer said about the parliament.
After waiting for several minutes, we all began to speculate whether the other party planned to starve our group of mortal enemies to death inside—of course this is impossible, Sandora is fully capable and courageous to eat a passage out from here , but just when we were about to lose patience, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and then we saw many moving light spots in the surrounding air, and these light spots gathered in the center of the hall faster and faster, Gradually formed a human form...
